Summary:
The TVA New Homes Plan provides incentives to contractors for building homes with a 4.5 or 5 star HERS rating. Over 2,400 homes have been certified to date through participating power distributors, including 800 homes at the energy right® Platinum, or ENERGY STAR level.
TVA Energy Right also partners with manufactured home dealers to allow them to receive $300 per home for an HVAC contractor to upgrade from inefficient A/C to an efficient 13 SEER heat pump.
Finally, in a pilot program, TVA provides a matching rebate of up to $500 for an energy audit and approved efficiency measurers. This Home Energy Evaluation (IHEE) program is currently being tested in 22 power distributor areas in the Valley with 50 more coming into the pilot in October. Evaluation is performed by trained auditor and installed measures are inspected after installation. TVA is working with a third party vendor (Conservation Services Group - CSG) to assist in program design and implementation. Email hbjordan@tva.gov for more information.
Customers should contact their local utilities to see what programs are offered.
